(Los Angeles, CA) September 25, 2012 – Premier Digital Publishing announced the availability of the highly anticipated book, The Empowerment Mindset, by acclaimed bestselling author Calvin Helin.  With a divisive knock-down-drag-out political race currently at the forefront of our global consciousness, more people than ever find themselves in something of a stalemate: disillusioned with the governmental and corporate powers that be, but not quite sure how to effectively and independently go about creating the success and happiness that they so strongly desire for themselves, their families and communities. In fact, America recently placed a staggering 13^thin a comparative study of national ‘happiness quotients,’ with a whopping 26% of American survey respondents claiming to be ‘not very happy at all’.This fall, multi-award winning and international bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker and advocate Calvin Helin and Premier Digital Publishing release a book that has the potential to not only pull us out of this inertia, but transform the very fabric of society: The Empowerment Mindset.

 

Following Helin’s several-time bestselling and critically acclaimed books Dances with Dependency and The Economic Dependency Trap, both of which provided high-level surveys of the barriers and problems faced by indigenous populations and other minority groups across North America, The Empowerment Mindset transcends the boundaries of race and class, and provides the ultimate blueprint for anyone, anywhere to go about improving their life at any time.

 

Written in response to Helin’s readers’ requests for practical information on how they could help themselves individually, The Empowerment Mindset asserts that the power to achieve success and happiness lies within each and every one of us. Based on concrete, widely applicable and action-driven principles the likes of which have not yet been seen from a self-help title, The Empowerment Mindset brings forward Helin’s transformative and dynamic ‘Ten Laws of Empowerment’ – offering an escape plan of sorts from the pervasive immobility and apathy with which people in every social strata are currently faced.

 

A member of the Native American Tsimshian Nation and son of a hereditary chief, Helin is one of the world’s leading authorities on fiscal independence. Widely featured by the international media for his uniquely informed and meaningful insights into rising poverty and unemployment rates, welfare populations and his no-nonsense message of empowerment, self-reliance and self-responsibility, Helin’s new book is set to change the paradigm of what it means to find happiness, health and empowerment in the 21^st century.

 

“My purpose in life is to help people help themselves by providing them with the knowledge to do so,” states Helin. “If a First Nations person from such a background as my own can succeed on the world stage, anyone can. But they must have the knowledge and commitment to do so. And that’s what The Empowerment Mindset is here to accomplish.”

 

“We are honored to bring The Empowerment Mindset, in addition to Calvin’s previous highly-acclaimed titles, to readers everywhere”, said Thomas Ellsworth, CEO and Chairman, of Premier Digital Publishing. “Calvin is a visionary and in The Empowerment Mindset he provides the motivation and a blueprint for greater success and happiness.”

 

“Calvin is immensely deserving of the accolades that he has earned for his past books, and we are thrilled to bring those titles and his new book, The Empowerment Mindset, to readers everywhere. Calvin is a true visionary with an ethos and spirit that motivates and moves people to be the best that they can be in their respective life lanes,” adds Padaro operations quarterback, Spencer Proffer, CEO of parent Meteor 17.

 

Extraordinarily relevant and unparalleled in its benefit, The Empowerment Mindset addresses:

 

• How to find empowerment, energy and success by taking personal responsibility for your circumstances
• Using your subconscious to your advantage: recognizing and addressing personal patterns of victimization, sabotage and ego
• Turning your hopes and dreams into your reality: what a strategic life plan is, and how to develop, implement and reap the rewards of one!
• The negative emotions, toxic thoughts and self-defeating behaviors that plague us all – and a step-by-step guide to stopping them in their tracks
• Acceptance, adaptation and controlling the shape of your destiny
